I've got this thing going on with my leg where the blood has clotted around this Marathi word like it's all red and clotted under the skin around the infected area. It's kind of worrying me. What do you think might be going on or how serious is this? Should I be doing something about it right away?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The symptoms you described, including a visible clot and redness around the infected area, suggest a skin abscess or furuncle; in Marathi, "Karat" often refers to a boil or abscess, which typically requires medical attention, such as incision and drainage, antibiotics, or warm compresses to promote healing and prevent further complications.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these varicose wounds for the last three months, and they come with crazy itching and burning sensations. The Doppler scan showed mildly dilated long saphenous veins due to an incompetent sapheno-femoral junction and a few incompetent perforators. Luckily, there's no sign of deep venous thrombosis, but still, it sounds serious to me. She's taking medications like OCID DSR, Gabamax Gold, CALDOB, and Ecosprin. I'm just trying to understand how severe this condition is and how long it might take for her to fully recover. Are there any specific precautions or recommendations we should follow to help her heal faster? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I've been noticing that my feet are constantly cold, both during the day and at night. It's got me a bit worried. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
Cold feet throughout the day and night can sometimes indicate poor circulation or underlying conditions like hypothyroidism or anemia. It's important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues, especially if it's persistent or accompanied by other symptoms.

I just woke up with a purple to blue vein under my armpit. I exercise and have been experiencing a bit of leg pain, probably from sitting for hours working on my computer. Is this something dangerous? How can I naturally cure it?
The blue or purple color may indicate that the vein is not getting enough oxygen, which could be a sign of poor circulation. To naturally help improve circulation and alleviate the symptoms, you can try elevating your legs when sitting for long periods, staying hydrated, and incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Additionally, foods rich in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, and nuts can also support vascular health. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
